Many recent species delimitation studies rely exclusively on limited analyses of genetic data
analyzed under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model, and results from these studies …

In cryptic amphibian complexes, there is a growing trend to equate high levels of genetic
structure with hidden cryptic species diversity. Typically, phylogenetic structure and distance …

The southeastern Nearctic is a biodiversity hotspot that is also rich in cryptic species.
Numerous hypotheses (eg, vicariance, local adaptation, and Pleistocene speciation in …

Snakes of the World: A Catalogue of Living and Extinct Species, published in 2014, was the
first catalogue of its kind and covered all living and fossil snakes described between 1758 …

Background The orogeny of the eastern Mediterranean region has substantially affected
ecological speciation patterns, particularly of mountain-dwelling species. Mountain vipers of …

Landscape features can strongly influence gene flow and the strength and direction of these
effects may vary across spatial scales. However, few studies have evaluated methodological …

Combining genetic and ecological measures of differentiation can provide compelling
evidence for ecological and genetic divergence among lineages. The rough-footed mud …

Here we present an analysis of the genetic diversity and structure of wild Eurasian otters
(Lutra lutra) on Kinmen Island, off the coast of eastern-southern China, as derived from high …

Human activities have a major impact on habitat connectivity and landscape structure. In this
context, it is critical to better understand animal movements and gene flow to develop …

Sex‐biased dispersal is common in many animals, with male‐biased dispersal often found
in studies of mammals and reptiles, including interpretations of spatial genetic structure …
